What should be added more than `the decoding table size` in javadoc?
I'd rather continue investing time on a private static field of a
package-private class...

Agreed - I had two options:

 1) suppress the rule;

 2) just make checkstyle happy.

Even if I was really tempted by #1, at the end I went to #2 to be
